Fern was kind, sincere and caring. She was structured in her day to day life and we loved that about her. She was always there with a helping hand.

Fern is survived by her sister, Gertrude Thole of St. August; many nieces and nephews; and great nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
